New frame is not an ISP so I have to sort out a post. Call me old fashioned but I prefer matching collar & cuffs, but I'm not too keen on Deda's relationship with the truth about weight. So any suggestions on parts? Currently using Zero100 bar & stem which I'm happy with shape-wise, so want to keep with a compact type bar. No carbon either!

But I only give 1/2 a hoot about brand matching, plus I have other non-run-of-the-mill requirements:Bontrager VR OS 36cm bars - for weight & widthRitchey WCS stem - 17deg and OK for weight esp if change to ti screwsKCNC TiPro seatpost - one of the lighter alloy zero seatposts

Component wise I would go with matching seatpost and bars. Easton EC90SLX3 bars, and EC90 seatpost (zero or setback, your choice).Then pair it with a ebay stem such as the UNO 6 and use acetone from drug store or home depot to wipe off the paint to get all black. I use the UNO stem. Very good for the money!http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-UNO-6-Lightw ... 20c9a8b26c

or if you want everything to match then I would go with Thomson everything. Thomson stem, thomson carbon road bar, thomson masterpiece seatpost.

I have not tried any product from the company, but would have purchasaed this set, had I not found a killer deal on an ENVE cockpit.Williams CyclingBars Elan $175 190gmStem Force $95 117gmseatpost ionic $95 184gmtotals $365 491gmMy understanding, as I have lurking around the many sites, that Williams is pretty good carbon, the selection on the website has grown immensely over the last few years.(I have no connection to the company!)Ron
